Subscriber of the Gods Episode 252
Episode 252. Kraken
‘The power of the sea god is a better technique than I thought.’
There is a current in the sea.
The power of the sea god was the power to control the flow and even change its direction as desired.
Originally, it would not have been easy to analyze and deconstruct the magic due to the strong current of the whirlpool.
Ethan was able to stand still thanks to his divine powers.
‘As expected, he is the god of the sea.’
The fishermen kept looking back as they passed through the disappeared vortex section.
It was clearly a whirlwind that had been going on for a long time.
Even Ethan was unaffected by the strong current and managed to destroy the vortex itself.
-I’m really sorry to say this.
Hydroscale asked the fishermen what they were most curious about.
-Are there any… …people among your parents?
“Human. 100 percent.”
-That can’t be true.
No matter how much I thought about it, that figure just now was the very image of a mermaid. And it was the figure of a hero I had only seen in books.
-You left the artifact on the ship too? How on earth did you… … .
“Oh, don’t worry about that. And the reason the whirlpool got so big was because there was magic on it. So I dispelled that magic.”
As Ethan spoke as if it was nothing, the men began whispering among themselves again.
-You must be someone.
-It’s clear that you have that person’s blood in you.
-If it’s not your parents… …they’re probably from that generation.
-I think you have a pitchfork.
The fishermen already seemed to think that Ethan was half-fish.
Ethan led the fishermen beyond the whirlpool.
The situation inside was not very good.
What was particularly striking was the color of the sea.
“The condition is terrible.”
– It was originally a beautiful place. Since it was on the way to Waterpia, we paid a lot of attention to it. Ha… … I don’t know where to start solving this.
Although Waterpia was cut off from the mainland, that didn’t mean it was a place no one could visit.
Anyone who was permitted to visit Waterpia was allowed to do so. Among them, those who could be considered VIPs were even greeted by Waterpia.
That is why this place, which can be called the front yard of Waterpia, has always been a beautiful place. This place is no different from the face of Waterpia.
But now it was completely contaminated with poison.
Bright red poison was visible here and there, and my body was so mutated that I felt quite heavy right away.
Ethan strained his eyes.
‘I felt it once.’
Ethan could remember for a moment.
‘That’s for sure. That’s the aura I saw at the Temple of Moon Force. It’s clear that the Dawn Society guys are doing their thing here.’
It was impossible to guess what they were aiming for, but it was clear that the apostle was the one in charge of this matter.
‘This time, I don’t have much detailed information.’
All I remember from Mephant is that something happened in Waterpia and the Pope of the Holy Light Church dealt with it.
‘The culprit is the Saebyeokhoe. But I know the Pope handled this matter lightly.’
But looking at the situation so far, it was not something that even the Pope could easily resolve.
‘I guess another apostle will take over this task.’
The apostle who came to Waterpia from Mephans was likely one of the three apostles killed by Ethan.
‘I’d better go quickly. I need to check how things are going.’
There were still many questions. To answer those questions, I had to first arrive at Waterpia.
As Ethan increased his speed, the fishermen also moved along with him.
Then, I felt something.
‘They said there was a monster behind the whirlpool.’
-Ethan!
-Here he comes!
As Hydroscale spoke, something came rushing in with a splash of water.
Boom-!
The giant coral at the crossroads was shattered, and the fragments and something huge fell on Ethan.
-It’s a Kraken!
Kraken, the giant monster of the sea.
It was so large that fishermen referred to it as a floating island, and it was understandable why they called it that.
The size of just one tentacle that immediately attacked Ethan was the size of a small building.
-Ethan!
Hydroscale shouted urgently, but otherwise there was no great sense of unease.
Ever since he saw him lightly dispel the whirlpool, Ethan had become the hero of the story in his mind.
The other fishermen were not as surprised as before.
But there was a hint of uneasiness.
The Kraken is extremely large. It was a common belief among the fishermen that if you encounter a Kraken, you should run away. The Kraken was not something to be fought, but something to be avoided.
Even just one tentacle of the Kraken is so huge that it’s hard to hit it properly, so how can you damage its even larger main body?
-The monsters’ calamity is activated!
But it wasn’t that difficult for Ethan.
The technology that has been saving Ethan’s life ever since he first encountered the New World.
Even the Eye of Horus and Zhuge Liang’s Dragon Shield overlapped with the disaster of the monsters, so even if it was a giant kraken, it was just a monster.
Wheeeeeeeek-!
Even though it was underwater, the tentacles stretched out at incredible speed and tried to strike Ethan.
‘Bullet time.’
The giant, fast tentacles slowed down for a moment.
-The power of the sea god is activated!
‘There’s no time!’
Ethan pulled out the Frost Sword and the Thunder Sword at the same time.
‘From meal 1 to meal 4.’
Because it was underwater, the power of frost and lightning could not be used.
‘I can control the power of my swordsmanship’s attributes myself.’
It was possible to remove the attributes that were embedded in the sword and bring out only the pure sword.
Ethan began to advance towards the Kraken’s tentacles, swinging his sword madly.
Stab, stab, and stab again.
As he advanced forward and struck down, the main body of a gigantic kraken appeared in front of Ethan. However, its size was so enormous that even if he lifted his neck up and looked up, he would not be able to see its end.
But Ethan didn’t care.
Just stab the weak point in front of your eyes and cut it down.
Sigh!
Ethan rose upwards, slashing at the body of the giant kraken. It was a blow that fully utilized the speed enhanced by the power of the sea god.
-oh my god…….
-Ugh, the Kraken!
The fishermen could not keep up with Ethan’s fast speed. Starting from the Kraken’s tentacles, Ethan reached the Kraken’s main body and made a big cut on the Kraken’s main body.
-It seems like we brought a really good reinforcement force.
-Waterpia is already as good as saved.
Hydroscale smiled brightly.
* * *
The giant kraken slowly began to sink to the bottom of the sea.
A notification window popped up in front of Ethan, who was hunting the Kraken.
-You have accomplished a great feat!
-The sea monster Kraken has fallen into eternal sleep.
-Your fame will rise!
– [Kraken Hunt] Likes were earned by completing the achievement.
– Got ’10’ likes.
The Kraken was a very powerful named monster that even had its own individual achievements.
Ethan took a deep breath. He was already used to breathing underwater.
‘This is my first time catching a kraken.’
The Kraken was not an easy monster to catch.
It was a well-known fact that they lived in the deep sea. However, because it was so vast and difficult to access, it was one of the hunting grounds that many people avoided.
‘And it’s really dark there.’
That wasn’t all. In the deep sea where water pressure was high, it was difficult to move smoothly even when using underwater artifacts.
‘You need to have a job related to the sea or have skills that allow you to move in the deep sea. If you’re not going to be at sea all the time, there’s no point in investing in that.’
That being said, this was my first time catching a kraken.
‘If I didn’t want to die, I was going to try summoning the turtle ship.’
Unfortunately, the Kraken died.
-Help me, please save me!
Then a voice was heard from the corpse of the Kraken falling down below.
As Ethan approached and cut into the torso, a fisherman emerged from within.
He was a rather difficult-looking fisherman.
-Gudros!
Hydroscale saw the young fish and approached it urgently.
-Hydroscale type… … .
-Why are you here… …!
-That’s… …I want to help too… … !
-You idiot! I told you to just wait!
Hydroscale’s lips trembled.
Gudros was his younger brother. It was the younger brother who almost died while trying to help Waterpia.
-Ugh, thank you, Ethan.
-You have cleared the quest!
– Got ‘3’ likes.
‘oh.’
Because I hunted the Kraken before receiving the quest, the quest was cleared as soon as the quest acceptance conditions were met.
“You don’t have to worry.”
Ethan said, looking at Gudros who was shaking with fear.
“You are safe when you are by my side.”
* * *
-Waterpia has been registered in Pungun.
Waterpia, the underwater city.
It was such a beautiful city that it made me think that this might have been what the mythical Atlantis was like.
‘It’s a mess.’
However, the atmosphere in the city was quite chaotic, and the fishermen walking around all had anxious expressions on their faces.
‘There are traces of cracks here and there.’
There were many places where the broken roads and cracks had been filled in.
Some of the beautiful buildings were in a state of ruin, and fishermen were busily moving around to repair them.
‘First, quickly start with Pia Castle.’
Pia Castle is where the King of Waterpia lives. The Pope is probably there too.
“Hydroscale? You said you went to pick up reinforcements. Did you just come back?”
The main gate of Pia Castle.
Normally, there would have been guards standing guard, but now, instead of guards, the knights of Piaget Castle were standing guard.
“Just come back. I brought reinforcements here.”
“……What are you talking about?”
Hydroscale pointed at Ethan with both hands.
“This is our supporter, Ethan Wickers. Half-human… no, definitely human.”
“… … .”
The knight of Pia Castle sighed.
“Hydroscale, I know how dangerous it is outside of Waterpia. But we need help now. I don’t know where you brought him, but a single human being can never solve this problem. You may not have heard it when you left, but the Pope of the humans is here in Waterpia. And he is also in trouble right now.”
Hydroscale shook his head at the knight’s mixed remark.
“You searched the sea route alone.”
“Humans have found a sea route?”
“And he destroyed the whirlpool.”
“……what?”
“And you caught the kraken all by yourself.”
“… … .”
“We didn’t do anything. We just brought Ethan here.”
At Hydroscale’s words, the knight looked at Ethan. Hydroscale was not a man who would lie.
He is a man who was once considered the next commander of the Knights of the Piaget Castle, but he is currently doing something else.
“Please come in. Thank you for coming to help us!”
* * *
Ethan, who entered the castle, followed Hydroscale’s guidance and headed to the reception room to meet the King of Waterpia.
‘You said the Pope was in trouble?’
Unlike Mephan, it was certain that a superior apostle had come.
“hmm!”
Ethan, who was going inside, frowned slightly.
‘what?’
In front of Ethan was a small, stocky man.
No, looking closely, it wasn’t a person.
“… … Dwarf?”
